Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant de configurer un rapport BSR (rapport d'état de tampon) pour une transmission de sûreté publique ou une transmission V2X (transmission relative à un véhicule) dans un système de communication sans fil. Un équipement d'utilisateur (UE) configure un canal logique D2D (de dispositif à dispositif) correspondant à la transmission de sécurité publique ou à la transmission V2X et déclenche un rapport BSR sur des services ProSe (services basés sur la proximité) pour le canal logique D2D. L'UE intègre le rapport BSR des services ProSe dans une unité MAC PDU (unité de données de protocole de commande d'accès au support physique) si l'unité MAC PDU peut agencer uniquement un élément de commande (CE) BSR MAC.
